Make sure to memorize everything mentioned in class for the unit tests. As well, make sure to check out his email links every day, as sometimes he gives pop quizzes on the material covered, even if it was not shown in class, and simply instructed to watch. Also, academic students who are worried, don't worry too much. I got a mid 90% in his class, so it's not impossible. Make sure to show your initiative and work habits, and do what he tells you to do, and you'll be fine. You learn a lot in this class, so take advantage of that!

Get ready to memorize a bunch of things that you are shown for a bit in a textbook then never again until the quiz. Oh, and the History summative tests are nothing but a word for word memorization timeline sheet
